With more than 35 years of unparalleled success in the industry, TCS brings experience and expertise for servicing virtually every aspect of parts programme management and supply.

Ground station solutions to the international space sector

TCS is a full-service provider of integrated launch tracking, telemetry, and command solutions. We provide comprehensive ground system services that encompass all aspects of the design and development, installation, facility construction, operations, and maintenance of facilities.

In addition, TCS specializes in ultra-rugged solid state drives (SSDs) and survivable data storage for military, aerospace and industrial applications. These drives are able to function in the most demanding environments and can be shipped in both highly-customized and industry-standard configurations.

Engineering and design support for aerospace applications

TCS's engineering team has extensive knowledge of industry standards and specifications such as DSCC, NASA, GSFC, MSFC, ESCC and others to ensure that customers' electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts meet space-level requirements.

Procurement and quality assurance for space level parts

TCS can simplify high-reliability space parts procurement problems by managing all aspects of quality assurance. With the ability to provide space-level parts from manufacturers worldwide, TCS can provide quality and performance that are uncompromised, passing significant time and cost savings onto our customers.

Manufacturing support for spacecraft

TCS knows that the complexities of designing and manufacturing a spacecraft are overwhelming. From the initial design phase, TCS offers comprehensive high reliability parts manufacturing support with a dedicated team of managers, engineers, buyers and quality assurance (QA) technicians. We provide services for assembly, integration and test support.

Export compliance of space components and technology

Over 35 years, TCS Space & Component Technology has developed and maintained the required expertise necessary to fully assure compliance to all necessary export regulations, utilizing a full-time export compliance department, which includes fully-trained staff and export attorneys.

Our export department:

Reviews every export transaction in advance to ensure that all aspects are handled properly and legally

Immediately responds to and resolves any issues or questions from export license authorities

Resolves export issues in a manner that reflects positively on our customer, working cooperatively with export authorities to ensure timely approval of export licenses

After-delivery service for space industry products

TCS offers comprehensive after-delivery service for all delivered products, which includes long-term storage of data, kitting to customer BOM, problem analysis and resolution, extended warranty and more.

Radiation-tolerant components for space systems

Space systems are often subject to the effects of radiation, which TCS provides radiation-tolerant to minimize. TCS items are based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices that are characterized and then qualified after undergoing rigorous radiation testing.

TCS products have a high-tolerance for radiation. They are packaged in space-quality hermetic packages and can be tested and qualified to Class-S requirements. We focus on memory products used in high-reliability storage systems and mission computers.

Ground system services for launch vehicle telemetry

TCS's Ground Systems (GS) Group is a full service provider of solutions for launch vehicle telemetry, satellite / vehicle tracking and command including:

System design

Software and hardware development

Integration and installation

Facilities design and construction

Operations and maintenance

System upgrades and equipment retrofit

Site staffing

Logistics and transportation solutions / export licenses

Site management in adverse conditions

TCS understands the critical importance of having the site ready for operations when required. We provide site management services to meet specific customer requirements. By making the best usage of local labor and service with appropriate TCS oversight, we can provide a cost-effective, reliable, and flexible site management solution. We are vastly experienced in managing sites in harsh environments with limited or no local infrastructure.

System integration for telemetry and communications equipment

Through TCS's processes of detailed systems engineering, along with continued process improvement, we can provide fully integrated telemetry and communications equipment, facilities, operations and logistics in the most cost-effective solution tailored specifically to the customers' mission requirements.

Operations and maintenance (O&M) for satellites

TCS staff are deployed to several ground station locations and oversee the daily maintenance to ensure the system is maintained in an operational-ready state at all times. During launch operational periods, TCS deploys technical support teams who are experts on ground station-related equipment.

Providing a complete parts management solution for high-reliability EEE components rated for use in space-based applications.

From a single part to an entire spacecraft parts list, a single-source, one-stop shop for all your high-reliability EEE component needs.

TCS developments go beyond ground stations. We provide various types of test systems and platforms for customers in support of their space vehicle and ground segment developments, including ground stations, satellites and rocket simulators.

For more than 35 years, TCS has provided global launch operations and satellite tracking services.
